Jacky
to acquaintances,
J
to her friends -- slid her slick pussy up and down the torso of her current lover for a few moments. She was revelling in the pre-insertion anticipation, before she would move a couple inches lower to engulf his rock-hard cock. Their bodies each had a light sheen of sweat -- it was hot in the guy's bedroom, right in the heart of the noon hour, in the midst of one of Toronto's ridiculous heat waves -- so her pussy lips rode up and down on him like an erotic slip 'n slide. But J was done teasing herself (not to mention him), it was time to take him inside her, and feel the girth of him spreading her pussy walls apart.
She was just about to do so when her phone rang. Based on the ringtone she knew it was her mother calling, which meant it had to be important. Her mother
never
called.
To her lover's surprise -- she really should have learned his name, but too late now -- she rolled off him to reach for the phone. She kept their bodies close, side-by-side now instead of straddling him, and started to work his cock with her left hand while her right held the phone. She might as well keep him ready, in case the call was quick and she could finish what she'd started. She smiled at the thought that she was acting as her own fluffer.
"Hello? ... Yes, who is this? ... Yes, Susan is my mother. What happened? ... I see. What's her prognosis? ... I'm in Toronto, but I can be there in three or four hours. If she wakes up before I get there, let her know I'm on my way."
She set the phone down and stared out the window with a thoughtful look on her face. Meanwhile, her hand never ceased gently fondling her lover's cock; stroking it, running her fingers lovingly over the head, sliding down to cup his balls... other women might not have handled him so expertly even with their full attention on the job.
But then she shook herself out of it, and looked back at him.
"Sorry," she said, "but I need to boogie. We'll finish this some other time. But," she got a wicked glint in her eye, "let me give you something to remember me by..." She lowered her head to take him into her mouth, and lovingly sucked him to completion, swallowing his cum, and then teasingly flicking the head of his post-orgasmic cock with her tongue, enjoying the way his body twitched every time she did. Men are so
sensitive
after they cum!
She gave him a few moments to recover, then kissed him. "You owe me," she joked with a wink. "But I gotta go."
She was dressed and out the door a few short moments later. And then, a moment after
that,
it occurred to
Josh
: they hadn't exchanged numbers -- how was he going to
find
her again?
---
The patient was finally stabilized. She hadn't been conscious when the ambulance brought her in, nor had she been carrying a purse or a wallet. Just a smartphone, which indicated her name was Susan. So
Dr. Varma
didn't know anything about the woman, except that she was in good shape for her age. It had been touch and go for a while, but she thought "Susan" was out of the woods now. They'd keep her sedated for a while, but she was reasonably confident the woman would recover.
But now it was time for another difficult job: calling the patient's family to let them know she was here. Unconscious. And, although the prognosis was positive, it would still be good for someone to be here when she woke up. She steeled herself to answer questions for which there were no answers -- including how "Susan" had sustained her injuries in the first place! -- and started to look through the phone to see if there were any emergency contact numbers.
As it turned out, the phone was locked (of course), but it had a feature that allowed access to an emergency contact from the lock screen. One cryptic name was given: "J." Dr. Varma called it.
"Hello?"
"Is this "J'?" Dr. Varma asked.
"Yes, who is this?"
"My name is Dr. Varma. I'm a trauma surgeon in the Ottawa Hospital, General Campus. I'm calling you because I have a patient who listed your number as an emergency contact; based on her smartphone, I think her name is "Susan,' though she had no ID on her person."
"Yes, Susan is my mother. What happened?"
"I'll be honest, J, I'm not exactly sure. Susan was brought here by ambulance this morning with severe trauma. She called 911 from the street, and then collapsed before the ambulance got there; if I were to
guess,
I'd say her injuries are consistent with a car accident, but she's been unconscious since she got here, so we haven't been able to ask her any questions or confirm how she was hurt. It could have been a hit and run, or it could have been something completely different. We'll find out more when she wakes up."
There was a slight pause, then, "I see. What's her prognosis?"
"That's the good news. I think Susan is going to recover fully. She's sedated right now, but we'll probably reduce her level of sedation this evening. When she regains consciousness, maybe we'll know more. It would be best, of course, if someone she knew were here when she woke up."
"I'm in Toronto, but I can be there in three or four hours. If she wakes up before I get there, let her know I'm on my way."
"I will do so. Thank you... er... J."
As the phone went dead, Dr. Varma wasn't sure what to make of the conversation. She hadn't had to deal with the questions and panic she usually had to deal with from loved ones, which had made the call easier; at the same time, she'd been thrown off, because it was odd to deal with someone who'd been so completely to the point and stoic about the whole thing. She hadn't even found out what "J' stood for, though she'd confirmed that the patient's name really was Susan -- but, shit, she hadn't confirmed Susan's
last
name! She'd have to stay "Jane Doe" on the paperwork for the rest of the afternoon. When Susan woke up, or when "J" arrived, they could fill in the details properly.
---
A little over four hours later, J pulled into the parking lot of the hospital in Ottawa. She'd broken every traffic law imaginable getting here as fast as possible, but still, four hours had felt like an eternity, and she was nervous as hell as she approached the emergency room entrance. What might have happened in that intervening time? Was her mom still okay?
However nervous she was, however, the nurse at the front desk didn't pick up on it. J always presented as calm, collected, and in control.
"I'm looking for a woman who was brought in here a few hours ago. First name Susan, last name probably not given. She might be listed as a "Jane Doe'."
The nurse consulted her computer for a moment. "Yes, here she is. We moved her to ICU an hour ago. Take the hallway there, turn right, and follow the signs. You're right, we do have her listed as "Jane Doe' for the moment, because we didn't have..."
But J was already following her directions toward ICU, where she found another nurse, at another desk.
"I'm looking for the Jane Doe who was brought in around noon?"
"Yes, room 201. And you are?"
"Her daughter."
"OK. Then I'll tell you that we've just reduced her level of sedation. She hasn't woken up yet, but she could any minute now. She'll be in a great deal of pain when she does, so we'll be monitoring that closely. Dr. Varma just left, but will be around again in another hour or so if you have more detailed questions. So far your mother hasn't had a reaction to anything, which is good, but do you know if she has any allergies we should be avoiding?"
"No, not to my knowledge."
"Excellent. There's a chair in the room, but we ask you to put on a mask before going in. You'll find a box of them outside the room."
"Thank you."
J followed the nurse's pointing finger to room 201, grabbed a couple of masks from the box, and donned one as she entered the room.
Her mother looked so small, lying there on the bed. J sat in the chair by the bed and tried not to think, as she waited for her mother to wake up.

Alex
sat stoically on a couch in his hotel room, thinking nothing, feeling nothing,
doing
nothing, other than waiting for a call. His phone might ring any minute now. Or an hour from now. Or not for days. It would
likely
ring soon, but however long it took he would sit here, waiting patiently. Patience was one of Alex' core strengths.
He was seated right in front of the television, but it wasn't on. Alex never watched TV, it held no interest for him. In his mind distraction was never a good thing, it was what lesser men did when they wanted to avoid thinking. Men who didn't have his level of self control.
Instead of consuming TV, he practised his meditation techniques. Eyes closed, without moving, he felt every inch of his body – toes, soles of his feet, ankles, calves, etc. – working his way up, noticing that every muscle was relaxed, until he got all the way up to his scalp. At that point, he would work his way back down. And then back up. Over and over, for as long as it took, until the phone rang.
At 6PM he'd call for room service and get something to eat, to fuel the machine, and as soon as he'd finished eating he'd go back to his meditation. He would probably order fish with potatoes; from a hotel restaurant, fish was usually a safe bet, without too many--
His thoughts were interrupted by the phone's gentle beep. He picked it up.
"Yes?"
"You called?" the voice on the other end of the phone asked.
"Yes. We must meet. The job was not what I was led to believe; I need better information."
